willy Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Definitely could be with the ball and socket action.... not sure what other creature has the same back bone set up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 I would definitely call this crocodylian. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TyBoy Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Agreed crocodylian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Rico Posted December 6, 2018 Author Share Posted December 6, 2018 @willy @Carl and @TyBoy thank you that is what I was hoping for. It is very hard to find Hell Creek Material in the uk. So little purchases like this are very appreciated and will go nice next to my Crorodylian teeth. Cheers all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordTrilobite Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Likely from somewhere in the middle of the tail. You can see this from it being fairly slender while still having the lateral processes. Verts towards the front would be fatter, and the verts towards the tip of the tail would have no lateral processes. 5 Olof Moleman AKA Lord Trilobite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
